[patch] update URL bar when switching tabs
by netsurf.list.markie1＠dfgh.net
Hi,
One aspect of the tabbed browsing that I felt needed addressing; it so
happened it was a relatively straightforward patch after tracking down
the necessary details :-)
The 256 length limit is as in browser_window_go_post in /desktop/browser.c
I hope the style is right, I've been registering what you've been saying
today, as well as looking at the way it's presented in the sources
Best

I am still unclear about what you're proposing. Please can you clarify?

Unexpected program exit on news.google.ru
by Chris Young
If I try to visit news.google.ru, NetSurf crashes - actually appears
to terminate without explanation or warning (if I run from the command
line I can see that it has terminated)
I got a log out of NetSurf visiting only this page - attached.
This is all I get before it exits - there's an error about XML
namespaces on the last line which might be relevant.
Any ideas where this might be going wrong? I didn't think NetSurf had
any way of exiting - other than properly - without an assert() or a
die() - both of which will give me some explanation.

Regarding application for GSoC 2009 project
by Harsh Verma
Hi NetSurf team,
I have been again to compile the netsurf code and am playing with it for the last one day. I wish to work on the gtk improvement project. Apart from points mentioned in the GSoC page, there are other issues also need to be considered like overriding proxy for local area connection (which I have mentioned previously as well).
As I am around the end of a semester, I am not able to devote much time for reading up the source code, but I looked up the documentation, and found it very informative and it makes me comfortable with the idea of working on someone else code.
My final exams will end by April last week and then I have a 3 month vacation, which I think I can use to full extent while working on the project, as right now I don't have any other commitments.
Can someone please guide me in filling up the application form (waiting for someone to show up at #netsurf on freenode), as I am not sure about how to set up the milestones. As this is my second hand at any open-source project (I am working on my first one during this sem itself, its Conjure, a Torrent client written completely in Haskell: pure functional language), so don't have much experience of working on a project with many contributors, but I think the communication between developers of netsurf will be able to overcome up this gap.
Apart from that I am also interested in developing Native Windows Port for netsurf as I have worked previously on C# developing a Windows Application with Graphical User Interface.
Also I am interesting in keyboard navigation project, and think that adding support like "vimperator add-on for firefox" would be cool as well.
So right now I am stuck up with many ideas and wish to narrowed it down to one. Hopefully someone can help me resolve this problem.
Thanks for going through my mail.

query about gsoc
by anand kumar
hi netsurf team ,
I am interested in working on the module keyboard
navigation.I am considering take layout position
into account and implement moving in 2D.
I think we can use adjecency list (doubly
links) to implement this.We can navigate through arrow+ shift keys to
move between and activate links, inputs in 2D.
Am i thinking in right direction??

Help in building Netsurf on ubuntu
by Harsh Verma
Hi,
This is in refernece to the GSoC 2009.
I wish to work on Netsurf as a part of GSoc this summer, hence I visited the netsurf GSoC 2009 page, and found the guidelines for applicant. I am stuck at the second step (builind the netsurf from source code).
I am trying to build Netsurf from code obtained from svn repo - (svn://svn.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/netsurf)
While trying to build it via Makefile, it terminates with error:
$ Makefile:320: *** Unable to find library for: NetSurf BMP decoder (libnsbmp). Stop.
I also downloaded the source code for libnsbmp from (svn://svn.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/libnsbmp), and compiled it.
Now the problem is I don't understand how to link the library files with the Netsurf Makefile.
I tried for help on irc channel (#netsurf) but got no response there.
Apart from it, I installed the netsurf binary via 'apt-get install netsurf' (version 1.2, 22 March 2008), though I have netsurf installed on the system, but I seems to have issues connecting to web. I have proxy connection at my place, I configured it for the proxy, but still it is not connecting. I also tried the direct internet connection (bi-passing the proxy server), but still it doesn't connect. Hence if I get the source code running, I might try to fight this bug out.
Also, in the build of netsurf, I found a serious short-coming, it doesnot have option (at least the gui) to bypass the proxy server for local sites. Also, almost every browser now comes in with tabs, adding these supports will be nice as well. All in all I wish to work on GTK frontend with addition to these minor issues of proxy, tabs, etc.
Looking forward to meet you on irc channel and discuss these issue.
Thanks,
Harsh Verma (#netsurf nick: lagolas)
